Spider's Web

Sydney Parham's, Spider's Web, is an example to us of using the ordinary moments in daily life to teach profound lessons to our children. The thoughts Sydney shares with her daughter and with us are simple, yet intricate, joyful, yet challenging, loving, yet asking us to go deeper. It is important that we make the most of the teachable moments in life that God gives to us because life is fleeting. Loving life lessons will be a source of strength and hope when the road of life is difficult and treacherous. -Annette Shepherdson "My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart." - Proverbs 7: 1-3 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk with them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." - Deuteronomy 6:5-7 "Sydney Parham weaves a short tender story that answers the deep throbbing question of physical appearance that haunts every teenager. Parents will want to read this story out loud to their pre-teens many times to avoid a lot of pain in the teenage years." - John Fichtner Pastor, Liberty Church
